Strategy and Place : Managing Corporate Real Estate and Facilities for Competitive Advantage

Rating:
Summary: case studies without the strategy
Review: I am a facility planning consultant and have looked at practically every book about aligning the built environment with business needs. "Strategy and Place" will be the one book I will be recommending to my clients because of its broad and deep coverage of the strategic and organizational issues which impact facility decision making. O'Mara clearly describes the numerous ways in which facility resources enhance organizational vitality. Its most significant contribution is a description how business uncertainity impacts decision making. A must read for anyone who has a part in formulating facility strategies.

Summary: Places do matter - read this book!

Review: This really isnt very helpful. Just sloppy steps, theory free, derived from some fast dated case studies, revealing nothing.
